An Adrian man was arrested Friday on suspicion of resisting and obstructing police officers after he reportedly led police on a brief foot chase.

According to a report released Friday by the Adrian Police Department, Ronald Lee Walker Jr., 22, was arrested at 12:12 a.m. after officers stopped Walker and an unidentified companion to check if they were in violation of the city’s curfew of midnight for those under the age of 18.

Though the companion stopped when approached, Walker reportedly fled on foot. Police caught up to him and took him into custody.

According to the report, Walker told police he ran because he had just purchased a $15 bag of marijuana but discarded it when he ran. Police retrieved the bag of marijuana in a nearby gutter.

Walker was lodged at the Lenawee County Jail.
